In intensive care
Slovakian Prime Minister Fico operated on again
Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico, who was seriously injured in an assassination attempt, is still in intensive care. He was operated on again on Friday, said his deputy Robert Kaliňák (see video above). The politician's condition is serious, but progress is being made.
It will take a few more days before the prospects of recovery can be assessed. "Necrotic tissue after the gunshot wound has been removed. The patient is now conscious, he is stable, but he is still hospitalized in the emergency room. His condition is really serious," said the director of the Roosevelt Hospital, Miriam Lapuníková. "The first four days after a gunshot wound are the most difficult," added Kaliňák. A decision is expected to be made on Monday as to whether the Slovakian prime minister will be transferred to the capital Bratislava.
As reported, Fico was hit by five shots at close range, including in the stomach, during a meeting with citizens on Wednesday. The arrested suspected assassin is a 71-year-old former security guard, amateur writer and opponent of the Slovakian prime minister. His home has since been searched.
New threats against politicians and journalists
He is under investigation for attempted murder. The police have already received new threats against politicians and media representatives. The public broadcaster RTVS tightened its security measures and part of the Slovakian Broadcasting Corporation building in Bratislava was temporarily closed on Thursday.
If the head of government were to resign for health reasons, the entire government would be dissolved in accordance with the constitution.
